For the second year in a row, Mercedes has failed to provide a competitive enough car to Lewis Hamilton. The reason behind Hamilton’s misery is simple: the car! W14 is still well below the expectations of the seven-time world champion and Mercedes is doing everything possible to change that. However, as things stand, 2023 seems to be following the same route. To make things worse, Hamilton’s recent interview showcased a rare defeated side of him. A side because of which the fans are letting out their frustration on Mercedes.

The Brit has been chasing the elusive eighth championship title since 2021. However, he hasn’t been in a position to challenge for the title. The 2022 season was especially bad for Hamilton. However, as things stand, 2023 seems to be following the same route. Until then, the Brit is suffering, and he revealed that in his interview with Sky Sports F1 after the qualifying in Jeddah.

When asked about his struggles, he said, “I struggled with the car in high speeds particularly. But I just don’t feel the car underneath me. I just don’t feel connected to this car and I can’t get it. I don’t really know what I’m going to do about that.”

This is a rare outlook from a usually upbeat and motivated Hamilton. Even though Hamilton pleaded his loyalty to the team, such interviews give rise to doubts and uncertainty.

Hamilton was still positive after the race in Bahrain, despite being slower than the front runners. However, after going eighth fastest in the Saudi Arabian GP qualifying, the Brit can possibly predict a bleak future. This is exactly what the fans are frustrated about.

The fans are pointing out how the events of 2022 are repeating themselves and George Russell is doing just fine in a car with which Hamilton is struggling.
